One of the worst tendencies of politicians is the blending of issues. In Tim Ryan's rant, he was right about everything that he said, but adding in climate change when he knew that this was a contentious subject to some Republicans is just unnecessary politicking.
He guaranteed a gut negative reaction from a subsection of his audience that ensured division. Perhaps this was by design.
Also, that is one empty room. Most legislative assemblies in America (and Canada) have such poor attendance. It's embarrassing.
